Profile

Life can present a problem at any time, whether it was an event that happened in your childhood that is causing you anxiety or pain now, or whether it is an event that has recently happened possibly leaving you confused and vulnerable. This is where counselling and psychotherapy can help you.

I am a qualified integrative counsellor and psychotherapist working in private practice in Horsham RH13 West Sussex (accessible by car and public transport), just a few minutes walk from Horsham train station. I provide short and long term counselling and psychotherapy for men and women over 18 in a safe, confidential and non-judgemental setting.
I work with an Integrative model of counselling and psychotherapy which I integrate aspects of humanistic, psychodynamic and cognitive therapys to suit each client's needs.

Counselling can be helpful for those experiencing a recent problem where there is a need to make the changes. It gives you the opportunity to talk through your problems, in a supportive and non-judgemental setting to consider your options and find your own anwsers. Counselling or psychotherapy is not about giving advice. Counselling tends to be more short term, with the option of long term work.

Psychotherapy is helpful for those who have experienced emotional or physical distress early on in life, such as trauma, cruelty and abuse, family members suffering from depression, severe mental health issues or ill health, bereavement and not feeling loved and cared for. What we experience in childhood can effect how we grow up, how we relate to others and ourselves and our mental health. It is more helpful for clients to have psychotherapy long term.
My aim is for us to explore the background into your thoughts and feelings, so that you are able to gain an understanding of what might be affecting you now or from your past. This awareness allows you to talk about your feelings attached to any concerns or painful events and creates the chance to choose a different way of being and how to see things in the future. It is never too late to have counselling or psychotherapy, no matter how old you are or when the problems started.....counselling and psychotherapy can help you.

Training, Qualifications & Experience

Foundation Degree in Counselling from University of Greenwich (BACP accredited degree)
NCFE Level 1 Certificate in Interpersonal Skills,
NCFE Level 2 Certificate in Counselling Skills,
NCFE Level 3 Certificate in Counselling and Theory.

As well as my private practice I am a volunteer counsellor for the Carers Support Service, where I offer counselling and psychotherapy to those caring for a loved one. Being a carer can evoke painful and shameful feelings towards themselves and the 'cared for', and at times put the carer under considerable stress. I provide a supportive and non-judgemental relationship where these 'painful' thoughts and feelings can be shared without criticism.

As part of my professional and personal development I attend workshops and further training courses. Such as training on
Trauma
Self-harm
Dream work
Art therapy
